A method of provisioning an eUICC of a mobile communication device. The method comprises sending a GSMA confirm order request from an eUICC provisioning application executing on a computer system to a SM-DP+ server, wherein the confirm order comprises an ICCID and a FQDN of a discovery server; in response to receiving a GSMA confirm order response indicating a failure of the discovery server, determining by the eUICC provisioning application that a mobile communication device associated with the ICCID is configured with an LPA application that is able to complete an alternative eSIM profile provisioning process using a scanning device to capture an activation code; generating an activation code by the eUICC provisioning application that encodes an address of the SM-DP+ server and the ICCID; and sending the activation code by the eUICC provisioning application to an email account associated with a user of the mobile communication device.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile communication device is a mobile phone, a cell phone, a smart phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wearable computer, a headset computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, or a tablet computer.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the eSIM profile comprises radio access network credentials associated with one of a 5G, a long term evolution (LTE), a code division multiple access (CDMA), or a global system for mobile communications (GSM) telecommunication protocol.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the eSIM profile comprises a preferred roaming list (PRL).
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the eSIM profile comprises branding content and executable applications.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the activation code is an encrypted message.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein the activation code is a 2-dimensional barcode.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein the activation code is a 2-dimensional barcode.
10. The method of claim 8, wherein the activation code is an encrypted message.
11. The method of claim 8, wherein the address of the SM-DP+ server is an internet protocol (IP) address.
12. The method of claim 8, wherein the address of the SM-DP+ server is a uniform resource locator (URL).
13. The method of claim 8, wherein the mobile communication device is a mobile phone, a cell phone, a smart phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wearable computer, a headset computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, or a tablet computer.
14. The method of claim 8, wherein the eSIM profile comprises radio access network access keys, a preferred roaming list (PRL), branding information, or executable applications.
16. The method of claim 15, wherein the mobile communication device is a mobile phone, a cell phone, a smart phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wearable computer, a headset computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, or a tablet computer.
17. The method of claim 15, wherein the eSIM profile comprises a preferred roaming list (PRL).
18. The method of claim 15, wherein the eSIM profile comprises branding content and executable applications.
19. The method of claim 18, wherein the branding content comprises at least one of ring tones and a mobile network operator logo.
20. The method of claim 15, wherein the activation code is one of a 2-dimensional barcode or an encrypted message.
